Hi guys i am planning to order my new pc parts on the 28/11/07 which is the day i get paided. i was planning to get a 8800gt but its not looking good with the stock. if i cant get that on the 28th which is the next best thing for around £150-170 :)
 
I would think that by then the stock situations will get better. I've noticed places slowly getting them in, as time passes and it gets closer to xmas there will be more in stock. Gibbo mentioned that there are loads more coming in next week.
 
The ATI 3870 is the best best thing, but the 8800GT is a better card. Google some of the reviews for the 3870, some of them match the 8800GT's vs them. :)
 
ok but want if there are non which is the best next to that for 150-170?
Radeon HD3870 I reckon. Bit slower than the 8800GT from the benchmarks I've seen, but not much, and it's around the price you're looking at. Not to mention they seem to have plenty of stock in most places.

Edit: I take the stock thing back, they seem to have all vanished. :confused:
 
I may be biased, but I'd still say you're mad not to wait one week to see if more 8800GT stock appears.

I sold my GTX for this and I don't regret it, it's like a siamese fighting fish. Small, but snaps like buggery.
 
If you were to go for a 2900XT you may as well get the GTS. Within the next week or so there will be places selling the GT you just have to constantly be on your toes if you want one - check everyday for stock at least.

I said 2900Pro TBH, but you might not be talking to me. :p
